The main thing to note about this book is that there is a new spine, it is like plaster material with gilt added on top. This book is signed by RM Bell who appears in the book itself (underlined). The front cover has some wear and RM Bell to the top and some numerials down the side by the spine. The rear cover is very nice. Internally nice and clean, some thumbing and a small bump to the base of the book that is not offputting. Minimal spotting. Excellent Photoplate.
